Next, click on the wiki that you want to add their new account to: writinginstitute
Now, you will need to create usernames and passwords for your students and in the dropdown box at the bottom choose whether you want to copy and paste them in, or upload an Excel (or Excel-like) document, then click Continue
I would suggest making usernames in an Excel document like: PCS-mcarls, PCS-pswan, PCS-bugsbunny If they have a common suffix/prefix they are less likely to be taken already. The passwords can be simple, let the kids pick them so they'll remember them......MAYBE!
You should see their usernames and passwords during Step2. Answer the drop down questions and then continue.
*I did not put in a column for e-mail addresses, assuming most students don't have a school e-mail address *
Now it gets interesting, before Step 3, you may have to adjust usernames because they may be taken already. So, some of them you may have to alter and then verify.
Step 3 is just to verify and last chance to remove them and it will give you their wikispace (email account).
Then the 4th step is just a confirmation- CONGRATS! They should be added right away. If you want to check you'd have to go to our Members section under Manage Wiki.
